Oldham is also founder of Field Projects, an artist-run project space in Chelsea. Her work has been spotlighted and reviewed byÂ Beautiful/Decay, Gwaker Arts, Glasstire, D Magazine, San Francisco WeeklyÂ and others.

Jacob Rhodes’ work explores codes of masculinity, class and the inherent violence in homo-social interaction. The middle child of three boys born to a car mechanic and a school cafeteria cook, Jacob spent his youth touring in punk bands, publishing zines, and self producing records. He received his BFA in New Genre and Photography fromÂ Otis College of Art and DesignÂ in Los Angeles where he studied under Larry Johnson, Bruce Hainley, and Richard Hawkins. After graduating, he joined theÂ US Army, spending three years in Alaska at Fort Wainwrightâ€™s 172nd Arctic Infantry Brigade. In 2005, he returned to school attendingÂ Skowhegan School of PaintingÂ and then earned his MFA in Sculpture atÂ Yale SchoolÂ of Art in 2007. Jacob has shown at the Bronx Museum, Alona Kagan Gallery, New York, Federal Art Project, Los Angeles, Galerie Im Regierungsviertel, Berlin, and Bart Wells Institute, London. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

In an effort to spotlight the collections at the Detroit Institute of Arts that would be lost if the threatened sale of art in collections at the DIA are sold, all day long Modern Art Notes and many other sites will be spotlight art at the DIA. Iâ€™ll be featuring roughly an artwork an hour for the next ten hours. I hope this will help Â spotlight both the collection at the DIA and the access we have to Detroitâ€™s art. I think that the more people think about whatâ€™s at the DIA, the more concerned theyâ€™ll be about what could happen there.

How can you help support the DIA? Share artwork here on MAN and at other sites with your friends. If you live in Michigan, tell your elected officials that the future of Detroit is important to you and that you donâ€™t support a fire sale of the cityâ€™s future.Â Best of all: Join meÂ in becoming a member of the Detroit Institute of Arts.
